Dogs Grave

Our awesome spot at Dogs Grave in the Victorian High country


We Moved on from Dargo once we got the all clear from the CFS, and drove through the Victorian high country, on our way towards Mt Kosciusko. We took one route (after we had gotten lost and found our way again, we are following some pretty basic maps) that we climbed 1500m following rough logging tracks that hadn't seen a grader (because they were so steep) in quite some time, and the car was really being pushed.... it was a warm day, and we are (slightly) overloaded LOL.




We were grateful to see the sign for dogs grave and noticed a bunch of council workers hanging around doing what they do best (and not grading the roads). Quite strange also as we were far from a town. We drove in and didn't really know what to expect and saw this grave site with a gravestone?
"Boney" a drovers cattle dog was buried in 1862 here, and we wondered why a dog burried so long ago has created a campsite there? Was a lovely spot though, lush green grass, and a deserved break after driving on bumpy dusty roads.
